How Macron Persuaded Trump at the G7, Until the Next Disagreement

June 18, 2026

Macron and his allies believed they had some leverage with Trump, as the U.S. needed European mine-clearing capabilities to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and stabilize the oil trade post-Iran war, as Trump demanded at the G7 summit.

The second phase of U.S.-Iran talks, if the initial deal is signed Friday, will focus on Iran’s nuclear program and include France, Germany, and the U.K., who originally backed the 2015 U.N. sanctions against Iran.

Domestically, the U.S. faces pressure over worries the provisional accord with Iran might collapse. “Trump needs our support. We have given him some comfort,” a European official stated.

Trump appeared content with the outcome in France for the moment, saying, “I think President Macron … did a great job, by the way, did a really fantastic job.”

However, as Trump departed, he realized he overlooked discussing an important topic with the French leader. “We didn’t discuss Greenland. I should’ve discussed Greenland.”

    Trust Macron to charm Trump into believing he needs a Frenchman’s help with oil – next, they’ll be sharing croissants while plotting global peace. 😂🍷 And who knew the fate of Greenland was just a casual afterthought at a G7 summit? Classic!

    Can’t wait for the next G7 summit where they can argue over who gets to buy Greenland next! 😂 As if those oil trades won’t be the real hot potato!

    Seems like Macron’s charm offensive really turned Trump into a fanboy for a minute there! But let’s be honest, when the biggest takeaway is a missed chat about Greenland, you know the summit was just a fancy tea party. 🍵😏

    Oh, brilliant! Nothing says diplomacy like a high-stakes meeting where the biggest takeaway is a missed chat about a frozen chunk of land. 😂 Macron really knows how to keep things ice-cold!

    Funny how a G7 summit can turn into a game of “who forgot to bring the snacks,” eh? 🍟 While Macron’s patting himself on the back, Trump’s still pondering how to negotiate real estate in the Arctic. Classic! 😂

    So, Macron’s charm worked wonders on the big guy at G7, huh? Guess all it takes to keep Trump happy is a little oil talk and a side order of Greenland to spice things up! 😏🇫🇷🗺️

    Typical! Just when you think there’s hope for diplomacy, Trump forgets to ask about Greenland—now that’s some top-tier politic-ing right there! 😂 Someone should remind him that the real estate game extends beyond the G7.
